Home Time

At Summitt you will typically get home weekly but may be out on the road up to 10 days with 34-48 hours home. We also allow drivers to stay out longer and receive more home time, as well as, the option to be home every other weekend. In addition, Summitt highly encourages our drivers to take paid holidays and vacations to enjoy additional home time so that they may be more safe and productive drivers.

Referral Bonus

Summitt Trucking realizes that our good drivers can be very instrumental in recruiting other good drivers to go to work for the Company. All driver personnel will be paid a recruitment bonus of 2 cents-per-mile for up to 12 months for each mile for which your driver recruit is paid. This payment will be weekly and included on your payroll check. For example, if your recruit runs 3000 miles this week, you will receive your recruiting bonus next week at 2 cents-per-mile or, in this case, $60. This will be paid weekly for each of your recruited drivers as long as you and the recruited driver are employed by the Company. The new driver must have list you, the current employee, on his/her original application as the individual that referred the him/her to the Company.
